 The Pakistani-American bikini girl, Mariyah Moten, who recently entered a beauty contest claiming to represent the Islamic Republic, appeared to have extended her fan base on Tuesday to include several members of the National Assembly (MNAs), who, it seems, were so mesmerised by the sirenÂ’s appearance that they forgot to debate the controversy. MNA Farid Piracha of the Muttahida Majlis-e-Amal (MMA), speaking on a point of order, said that he had moved an adjournment motion to debate how the girl had come to claim to represent Pakistan, a move that had humiliated the entire country.
"Oh, Mahmoud! I'm so humiliated!"
"Me, too, Ahmed."
"We should throw acid in her face." |
Passing around a news report on the incident, he questioned what kind of “soft image” of Pakistan Ms Moten’s actions would promote.
| Home of comely young maidens? Oh, that wouldn't do. |
To push his point home, Piracha then proceeded to pass a picture of the bikini-clad 22-year-old to several of his colleagues.
"Aaaaiiiieeee! My turban has unravelled!"
"Point of order, Mr. Speaker! Mr. Chaudry has prematurely shot off!" |
 First in the queue were Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) MNAs Pervez Malik and Raja Nadir Pervez. Piracha and Malik were then seen smiling at the picture before exchanging comments.
Then came the turn of MMA MNA Hakim Qari Gul Rehman, who took the picture from Piracaha. After drinking in Ms MotenÂ’s sexy pose, he then let treasury member Rehana Aleem Mashehdi have a look, which she did, but only after donning her spectacles. Rehana passed the picture on to MNA Amjad Warraich, who was sitting next to her. He then passed it back to Qari Gul Rehman, who returned it to Piracha. And that, it seems, was the extent of the mass debate.
